The appropriate assigned ranges and exceptions for the locally
administered address include the following:

The range is 00:00:00:00:00:01 to FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FD.

Do not use a multicast address (least significant bit of the high byte
= 1).

Do not use all 0s or all Fs.
Receive Side Scaling
Allows configuring network load balancing across multiple CPUs. The
default setting for this property is Enabled.
Speed & Duplex
The Speed & Duplex property sets the connection speed and mode to that
of the network. Note that Full-Duplex mode allows the adapter to transmit
and receive network data simultaneously.

10 Mb Full . Sets the speed at 10 Mbit/s and the mode to Full-Duplex.

10 Mb Half . Sets the speed at 10 Mbit/s and the mode to Half-Duplex.

100 Mb Full . Sets the speed at 100 Mbit/s and the mode to Full-
Duplex.

100 Mb Half . Sets the speed at 100 Mbit/s and the mode to Half-
Duplex.

1 Gb Full Auto . Sets the speed to Auto-Negotiate at 1000 Mb Full-
Duplex mode only.

Auto (default). Sets the speed and mode for optimum network
connection (recommended).
Note
Auto is the recommended setting. This setting allows the network
adapter to dynamically detect the line speed of the network.
Whenever the network capability changes, the network adapter
automatically detects and adjusts to the new line speed and duplex
mode. A speed of 1 Gbit/s is enabled by selecting Auto, when that
speed is supported.
Note
1 Gb Full Auto must be attached to a link partner that is also capable
of a 1 Gb connection. Since the connection is limited to a 1 Gb
connection only, the Ethernet@Wirespeed feature will be disabled. If
the link partner supports a 1 Gb connection only, the Wake on LAN
feature may not work. Additionally, management traffic (IPMI or
UMP) in the absence of an operating system may also be affected.
